TO
Francis Mitchell McClenahan, M.A.
as an expression of our highest appreciation
FOR
HIS FAITHFUL GUIDANCE IN THE REALMS OF SCIENCE
AND
HIS KINDLY FRIENDSHIP
AND
HIS LOYAL SUPPORT IN OUR COLLEGE ACTIVITIES,
WE
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE
THIS VOLUME OF THE CHILHOWEAN
Francis Mitchell McClenahan was born January 27th, 1876, in
Winterset, Iowa, and prepared for college at the Olathe, Kansas,
High School, and in 1896 graduated from Tarkio College, Tarkio,
Missouri. From 1896-99 he taught Chemistry in the Pittsburg, Pa.,
High School, and in 1900 received his B.A. degree from Yale Uni-
versity, and in 1901 his M.A. degree from the same institution. In
the years immediately following he pursued graduate courses in Yale
and Chicago Universities, doing special work in Inorganic and Physi-
ological Chemistry and Physics, holding in turn graduate assistant-
ships in the Kent and Sheffield laboratories at ^'ale and in the chem-
ical laboratory at Chicago.
1903-05 he was instructor in the Kansas State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, and in 19(l6 he was called to the chair of
Chemistry and Physics in Maryville College, which, with the excep-
tion of one year spent in a similar capacity at his Alma Mater, Tar-
kio, he has held until now.
Professor McClenahan is a member of the .American Chemical
Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science. Some of the results of his careful research work are con-
tained in his published articles, one on, "The Water of Crystalliza-
tion of Certain Hydrous Chlorides," and one on "The Development
of Fat in the Black Walnut," these articles being published by the
American Journal of Science and the Journal of the American Chem-
ical Society, respectively, and reprints being made from them m the
German Chemical Journals.
Those who know Professor "Mac" best, forget the Chemist in
the man and love him heartily for his wholesome and ready sv-mpathy
for those about him, and for his friendliness and abundant good cheer.

Re\-. Elmer Britton Waller, M.A.
1859—1913.
Dean and Professor of Mathematics and Political Economy.
"The color of ground was in him, the red earth;
1 he smell and smack of elemental things:
The rectitude and patience of the cliff;
The good will of the ram that loves all leaves;
The friendly welcome of the wayside well;
The courage of the bird that dares the sea;
The gladness of the wmd that shakes the corn;
The mercy of the snow that hides all scars;
The secrecy of streams that make their way
Beneath the mountain to the rifted rock;
The undelaying justice of the light.
That gives as freely to the shrinking flower.
As to the great oak flaring to the wind —
To the grave's low hill as to the Matterhorn
That shoulders out th; sky."
— Markham.
Major Ben Cunningham
1840—1914.
Treasurer and Business Manager of Maryville College.
"Mourn for the man of amplest influence.
Yet clearest of ambition's crime.
Our greatest yet with least pretence.
Great in council and great in war,

Rich in saving common-sense
And as the greatest only are
In his simplicity sublime.
O good grey head- which all men knew,
O voice from which their omens all men drew,
O iron nerve to true occasion true,
O fallen at length that tower of strength
Which stood four-square to all the winds that blew I
Such was he whom we deplore.
The long self-sacrifice of life is o'er."
— Tennyson.

Foreword
The Class of Nineteen Fourteen writes this foreword. We are on the dividing Hne between education's pleasant
pasture lands and life's vast boundless practicalities. The world says, we college men and women are unpractical — let
the world try us. ,
It is true, we have not faced the stern, dread things that experience brings; we have not dealt with men after their
infirmities and whims and fancies, but thru the years of youth we have come, reading the unforgetable records of those
who were worth while, tracing in the sands of time, those whose footprints remain there still, — ineffacable forever. And
with their spirit, made ours through the heritage of the years, we stand untried but unafraid at the beginning of the way.
To those who love old Maryville, for memory's sake, because of what she has meant in moulding character and
directing destiny; to those who love her now because they reap the harvest of her riper years; to all who love old Alma
Mater, greeting.
This book is our farewell to memory-hallowed academic haunts; to college hill and college days; it is as truly our
challenge to the world, upon whose threshold now we stand, ready to serve it even in the spirit of our motto —
Reperiemus viam aut faciemus.

FRANK LEWIS MILLER
East Moriches, N. Y.
"Willie the Long" is from New York, and he bears about the same relation to
that state's reputation as does the principal liquid product of a certain Wisconsm Vil-
lage to said village's fame. Willie is long in lots of things besides his seventy-one
inches of altitude. His long stride, and endurance have made a name for him on the
cinder path. He was captain of track in 1^12-13, and Manager of track in 1913-14,
besides being holder of the local record for the half mile, 2:10 3-5, and winner of
points in other events. He was a member of the basketball squad in 1913-14, and
has played on all our Class basketball teams. Willie also has a long business head,
having been Business Manager of the Monthly in 1912-13. He was Exchange
Editor of the Monthly in 191 1-12; a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet in 1912;
Secretary in 1912, and Vice-President in 1913, of the Athenian Literary Society; and
Photographic Editor of the Chilhowean. To cap off this illustrious career, we elected
Willie President of our class, but the Faculty failed to be satisfied, and so added to his
honors by naming him one of the commencement day orators of our class. Willie as
his worn and emaciated form indicates has been a busy man among us, but has not been
too busy to occasionally don his derby (size 6%), and equipped with a ready made
smile and well cultivated Irish accent, fare forth into the primrose way of moonshine.

ALMA MABEL ARMSTRONG
Bradentown, Florida
"Happy" is a fit name for this Florida member of the Class of '14. We would
have named her "Happy," on the strength of the fact alone that once she grinned for
three minutes and eighteen seconds at a distance of four and a half inches, which same
being the world's record for the standing broad grin. But there are three other reasons
why the name fits. Happy is an athletic lady, as her record shows. She was for three
years a member of the Varsity Basketball team; and was Captain of the team in
1912-13; and was twice a member of the Athletic Board of Control. In 1912-13,
she was Assistant in the Chemical Laboratory, and from this ordeal, as from all others
thus far, escaped with smiles, only to be elected to the coveted (?) position of Editor-
in-Chief of the Chilhowean. In 1911-12, she was Class Editor and in 1913-14 a
member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, besides being President of the Bainonian one
term. "Happy" is of a legal turn of mind, and so requested that these remarks be couched
in legal phraseology. It is our regret and the world's sorrow, that we were unable to
do so, but It is to be hoped, however, that even such a disappointment as ih s will in
no wise hinder her from being Happy ever after.

JAMES FRAZIER BRITTAIN
Maryville
"Jim," or to be familiar "Bnt," has had quite a career as a MaryviUian and
proof thereof follows. To begin with, Brit is an Athenian, and was Secretary of the
Society in 1912. But the great star role of Brit is Athletics. In 1911, he was a
member of the second Basketball team; in 1912-13-14, a member of the Varsity
basketball team of which he was Captain in '13. In 1912, he was a member and
Assistant Manager of the football team, and in 1913 was Manager. He was also
Captain of our Class football team in 1911, when we beat the Freshies, besides being
Athletic Manager of the Class. Brit has played on all our Class baseball teams, and
in 1913 was Captain, besides making quite a reputation as a pitcher. To cap it all
off, Brit was in 1913-14 Vice-President, and for almost the entire year acting President
of the Athletic Association. The why of the above splendid record is, that Brit goes
into everything with all the "punch" requisite to carry it through. He is not much of
a moonshiner, but then he left that to his brother, and so made sure that both his own
work and the moonshining would be well done. So here's luck to Brit, and bad health
to his neighbors for he intends to be a doctor.

LUDVIK BURIAN
Martinice, Moravia
Ludvik left his home in Bohemia in 1907, and arrived in our States on Thanks-
giving day of that year. Somehow his steps were turned southward from the usual
route of immigrant travel, and m 1909, he entered our school. Beginning at First
Prep., he completed his High School course in two years, in which time he was Vice-
President of the Class of 16. He entered College as Freshman in 1911. "Lud"
was Secretary of the Athenian in 1912, and Vice-President of the Foreign Club in
1912-13, and many other things he did, such as Co-Ed Track instructor in the noon
hour cinder path athletics. But in one thing . Well, you know in every College
generation there is some one who has a gift of spattering paint, and as you also know,
one is king of all cartoonists so long as he holds sway. If you pardon me for men-
tioning M. C.'s art dynasty, I think the line is quite like this in recent years: Alexander,
Shelton, Tedford, Burian. Now these old monarchs reigned a year or less, but Lud
has held that office these last three years with undisputed sway. All hail, then, to the
genius of our class. King of College Spatter Club and Chilhowean artist. His Highness
of the brush. Lord Ludvik Burian!

RALPH ST. CLAIR CARSON
Hendersonville, N. C.
"R. S." is just slightly the greatest man in our class, in brawn at least, and our
rival classes have found this to be the truth in no uncertain way. In 191 I, when we
played football against the Freshmen, R. S. played guard on our team, and '15ers were
stage-struck every time they were called on to tear up our line. He is also somewhat
of a basebalhst, being a member of the Varsity Nine in 1910, and a pitcher in 191 1,
'12 and '13 for our class team, and captain of the team in 1911. He was the first
president of our class, chosen perhaps as most Freshman presidents are because of his
formidable appearance, but proved an efficient president in every way. He was also
a member of our class debating team in 191 1, and all thru his lour years has been
a loyal Athenian. He was Editor of the Y. M. C. A. in 1912-13, and in 1913-14
was president of the local Prohibition League, a new organization on the Hill. R. S.
insisted that he be written up as an "ex-moonshiner," but we hardly thought that would
be fair to "Her" or those who know better, so we will not mention that feature of his
career. He has been custodian of Bartlett Hall for the past two years, and between
that place and Baldwin he has divided his spare time.

FRANKIE BELL CLARK
Christiana
Frankie or "Frank," which is easier to say and will do just as well if ;he doesn't
object, is the silent member of the class, but since there is a lot of Scripture, poetry and
blank verse to prove that silence is golden, we should not have any serious objections
to this particular phase of Frank's character, especially as long as gold stays in demand.
Frank came to us three years ago from Tennessee College over in the other end of the
State, and entered as Freshman. Did we emphasize that three pears sufficiently? Yes,
she, like a few others of the class of '15 got ambitious to get out into the "wide, wide,
world," and so, joined us this Fall. In spite of her silence and the fact that three years
is short time in which to crowd four years' work, she has always been a banner student.
She is one of Daddy's pets, probably because of her ability to "Reason, without con-
fusion clearly" ; or maybe that's only one of the reasons. Frank is also a loyal
"Y. W." member and a Bainonian. Next year she's going to teach school, so rumor
tells us, and we have a lot of confidence in the belief that she'll make good if sh^ does.

LUTHER LAURENCE CROSS
Gastonburg, Ala.
"Brother" got his nickname from the home folks, but because we could think of
nothmg more fitting it has stuck to him through his four years on the Hill. In 1911-12,
before we knew all we know now, we chose him as Treasurer of the Class. He was a
member of the Class Tennis team for three years and although this is one of the few
lines m which '14 has failed to score victory, none of the blame is Brother's, for he
always played good tennis. In 1912-13, he served the Athletic Association as Tennis
Manager, and m the same year, was Treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. Brother also has
a reputation as an orator. In 1912, he won the Athenian Society Medal for the best
oration, and in 1913, was our Intercollegiate Orator at Carson & Newman. Brother
has strong prejudices. He prefers to sing — "Precious Jewels" — he insists on "Being
Shown," and declares that the only hoodoo about ' 1 3 is that it comes before '14. He
was Commander-in-Chief at the Siege of Fredricktown, and is a recognized authority
on "what they did last year." He intends to be a Preacher.

VICTOR CHARLES DETTY
Scranton, Pa.
"Vic" came to us fresh from the Central High School of Scranton, Pa., and for
a year he moved among us all unbeknown. But m that year he had the hard luck to
try cross country running, — out through the fields you know, — and they say he has been
going to the country ever since. Anyhow, in 1911-12, he was Manager of the
Track Team. Vic's religious propensities made him Secretary and Treasurer of the
Ministerial Association in 1911-12; a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet in 1912-
13-14 and of the Advisory Committee of the same; then finally, leader of the Volunteer
Band in 1913-14. Interspersed among his country visiting, Vic has made tracks in
other walks of college life. In 1912-13 he was class Secretary; in 1913, President
of the Alpha Sigma Literary Society; and from the year 1912 to 1914 he was Assistant
m the Loan Library. We have only one more thing to say: Vic's a good boy, and
Vic's a great boy, and Vic will certainly make good in China, in Africa or wherever
he lakes up his abode, if only — somehow that "blooming" country visiting gets fixed up
all right.

GRACE GLADYS ELMORE
New Markel
"Teddy" came to Maryville after graduating from New Market Academy but it
was not until the Spring of 1913 that she became a member of our class. In the brief
time she has been with us we have learned to regard her as one of us in all of our
woik as well as play. Besides holding offices in her former class she is Vice-President
of our class this year. As a member of the Bainonian Literary Society, she has been
influential and active. Many of the college girls who have had the pleasure of visiting
in her home can testify to anyone who might care to know that she is a mighty good
cock and a charming hostess. Grace has been chosen by the Faculty to deliver one of
the commencement day orations, but it does not follow that she has been a bookworm,
for although she graduates in the Classical Course, which means no little work, she loves
a good time and not only loves it but has it. She is noted for her wonderful influence
on those around her. For is it not a fact that for fifty minutes she kept Mr. Til ford
from discussing the lesson out of his turn one day in Dr. Barnes' class?
31
WILLIAM FOSTER FYKE
Springfield
"Doc" is one of the veteran ' 1 4ers, and as you see a Tennessee product. There
are numerous things for which Doc is famous besides being "Ranger's" adviser and
general manager, but they will be enumerated below. Doc graduates in the Scientific
Course, which is a very natural thing for a Doc to do, and he was in 1913-14 Assistant
in the Organic and General Chemical Laboratories. He is a member of the Athenian
Literary Society, and whenever '14 has had a successful athletic team Doc has been one
of the important elements in its success. In the famous Fresh-Soph Football Game in
191 1, he played end; and was center on our victorious Basketball Team the same year;
and in two inter-class baseball games has held down second base with great success.
But Doc's bright particular star role is in disposing of refreshments at class parties and
elsewhere. His birthday must be somewhere near Easter for he is the original egg-eating
title holder. Whenever Doc ceases to consume his share of the "Shanghai Berries,"
may the Orange and Black cease to stir our hearts to pride, but rather droop in shame
and ignominy. Doc never moonshines, and we are rather inclined to think that there's
a reason.
32
JAMES THOMPSON GAMBLE ^■
Maryville
We are glad to have "Ranger" with us. We make this introductory remark
because every year since we have known him, he has declared it to be his last year in
Maryville. It has always been "U. T. for me next year" or some equally transpareirl
fiction, but the next September has always found Ranger back on the job with the '14's,
and his record with us has been one of loyalty and efficiency. He graduates in the
Math. Course, which is in itself no mean achievement. He is a member of the Athenian
Literary Society, and in 1912-13 was Vice-President of his class. Ranger further
shows his class spirit when spring comes and the call of baseball is abroad in the land.
He is a dyed-in-the wool "fan" and besides this, although not a star performer, has
done much to give our class a successful baseball record. We owe the name Ranger to
Doc, for the rest of us call him "Jim." Doc tells about once when Ranger forgot his
Lyceum tickets. Nevertheless we're mighty glad U. T. didn't get Jim.

ERMA MAY HALL
Maryville
Erma is a Maryville maid, who has been through college in the literal sense, having
taken all her Prep, work here. Despite the rather discouraging prospect that awaits ths
prophet seeking honor in his own country, and among his own people, Erma overcame
ihe handicap, and was the choice of our class for President m 1912-13, our Junior
year; and right competently did she perform her part. She is a Bainonian, and although
not noted for her much speaking is nevertheless not deficient in loyalty to her Society.
Her home has always been open hospitably to the girls from the Hill, and especially can
the '14 girls testify to many pleasant hours spent there, away from the common-placeness
of the dormitory. Erma is just a little bit the "littlest" of all the Seniors in avoirdupois,
weighing just about as much as a hundred pound sack of tlour, and being about as high
as a medium-sized meter stick. But considering all this, we believe there are hopes for
Eima, and as far as we can tell, ihere are hopes for someone else. too.

AUGUSTUS GARLAND HINKLE
Inez, Ky.
Hinkle took his preparatory course at Inez, Ky., in the Wilson Memorial Acad-
emy, and in the Fall of 1909, he journeyed to Maryville, entering as Freshman that
year. At once his genius began to find him a place in college activities. He was made
President of the Ministerial Association that Fall, and in the Spring of '10 he was a
member of the class debating team. Then followed a period when the campus was not
lighted by his presence. But Hinkle, the preacher, returned in '11, and his quiet ways
and pious looks soon made their impression. In 1912 he was placed on the Y. M.
C. A. Cabinet, and later, he became the student member of the advisory board of the
Y. M. C. A., both of which offices he held for two years. And in the Alpha Sigma
Literary Society Hinkle also made his mark, being editor of the College Monthly from
that Society in 1912-13; Recording Secretary in 1912; President in 1 9 i 3 ; and on the
Standing Intercollegiate Committee for the two years 1912-13; 1913-14. Besides
these manifold duties, he served his class as editor in '12-' 13 and as Business Manager
of the Chilhowean. And what more can we say of such a one, save to wish that as he
filled well all places in his college course, so he may some day fill the highest pulpit
in the land.

EDWIN RAY HUNTER
Bicknell, Indiana.
"Eddie" came to us in our Sophomore year from Greenville, a Free MethodiEt
Institulion, and having to some extent imbibed the spirit of that College, he has, to say
the least, been free with his talents and his ideas — when he has any. His ideas take
shape in poetry as well as prose. The success of the College Monthly during the year
1912-13 was largely due to the ideas that came to Eddie, while he was Editor- in-Chief.
He must have had a few more ideas, for he was one of our Class Debaters in 1912,
Intercollegiate Orator in the same year, and winner of the Athenian Oratorical Contest
in 1913. He was elected Vice-President of the Athenian Literary Society in 1912,
and President in 1913. It is said that Eddie writes with his left hand, but this did not
prevent him from holding the position of Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in 1912-13 and
of the Athletic Association in 1913-14. Would you believe that ideas and Chemistry
go together? Well, Eddie goes with Chemistry, or at least he has gone into the labora-
tory for two years to assist Professor McClenahan. Eddie has also been a member of
the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. When we were looking for some one to fill space on our
Annual Staff, of course we chose Eddie as an Associate Editor. As a pastime he has
taken up the study of German, and was chosen President of the newly formed club in
1912-13. On certain evenings Eddie still studies German, or at least says he does.
Again Eddie uses his ideas in his plans for the future in several directions. If you do
not believe it, just watch him.

JOHN ALBERT HYDEN
Philadelphia
John, "Mutt" or whatever you choose to call it, is the intellectual member of our
class, and is a mathematics shark, rather a rare bird by the way, on our classic hill.
John is quite an editor, being at present Editor of the class; Athletic Editor of the
Monthly; and when there was a German Club on the hill John was the Editor of thai
too. John is also somewhat famous as a business man, being Assistant Business Man-
ager of the Chilhowean, and Tennis Manager in 1913-14. Besides these thmgs, John
was a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet in 1913, and was President of the Athenian
Literary Society during the Winter Term 1914. He was also Secretary of the Society,
and a loyal and efficient member. These represent the violent, outbroken things John
has done while among us. They tell nothing of the contortional possibilities of his facial
muscles, or the probable depth of the convolutions of his brain. We would be doing
John an injustice to leave our readers to infer that he has ever voluntarily moonshined,
and also to leave unmentioned the fact that for three years he has successfully roomed
with "Dad" Reeves.

NELL ROSS KIRKPATRICK
Mooresburg
Nell took her preparatory course at Tusculum College, and incidentally graduated
here in Domestic Science and Art. And by a lucky concatenation of events, she came
to Maryville, in 1910. Now, Nell is an athlete not so much on the cinder path, but
her noble little soul aspired to greater heights of glory. From the day she hit Old
Maryville, even until now she has tossed the big round pill for the '14s in Basketball.
And during those same years she was on the Co-Ed second team, and on the Varsity
in '13. But was Nellie great in Athletics alone? By no means; she boldly strove for
literary fame, and ever took in moonshining. Her attempts at letters were rewarded with
success, and the Presidency of the Bainonian Society. But moonshine as yet is not
altogether so prosperous, not having come to an issue perhaps. Speaking of moonshine,
ihat reminds me. Our Nell will be "right there" when it comes to the "sure thing"
under the pale yellow light of her majesty, the moon. Long a post-graduate in the Art
and Science of the home, she is new Assistant in that department in Maryville College.
Well, well, happy be the noble youlh, who is aspiring to — yes, "them's my sentiments."
Good day.

CHARLOTTE HAUER LANDES
Florianoplis, Brazil
"Shylock" IS a star. Stars are cold, gleaming, and distant, but she is none ol
these things. However, she does possess many of the qualities, which are commonly
known as stellar. In the first place, Shylock of the rosy cheeks and raven locks, has
starred in her studies, being one of the four members of our class, who is making College
in three years. And even though she was once a member of that '15 bunch, we admire
her judgment in leaving them, and so have welcomed her with us. Particularly is she
known to be a stellar language student, which reputation won for her the Secretaryship
of the German Club in 1912-13. As a Bainonian, she has been Society Editor, and
as an active member of the Y. W. C. A. she has held the office of Vice-President, and
has been for two years a member of the Cabinet. We spoke a moment ago of her
language proclivity, and must mention it again to note the fact that all her extra joy and
spirits have found expression in an inarticulate and heathenish singing and jabbering as
she goes about her work. She has a very eafy touch-offable laugh and also has an
after-dinner moonshine habit. She is going to be a missionary, and so is he.

MAYME REBECCA MAXEY
Maryville
Mayme is one of the charter members of our class, and from its start to finish she
has been a very loyal member. Her interest in class affairs can be measured by her
participation in all inter-class games and her well executed official duties. In the general
life of the college she has paid special attention to athletics. Her wearing of the "M"
signifies that she has played on the Varsity basketball team for three years. More than
that, she was elected Captain, and further confidence was placed in her, when in 1912-
13, she was chosen Manager of the team. In the Fall Term of 1913-14 she was an
assistant in Miss Green's Physiology Laboratory. She is also a member of the Bain-
onian Literary Society, which she has faithfully served. But Mayme has one fault
and that is a strong tendency to look backward instead of forward, and as time goes by.
It becomes more pronounced for the class of '15 seems to be a mysterious drawing
power to her affections, possibly because it contains some one who has also won the
magic "M." As she goes out into the world, may she be as successful in her chosen
vocation as she has been in the things she has undertaken while in College.

ADOLPHUS RANKIN McCONNELL
• Maryville
In introducing "Mack" we might say that he sometimes sings, and that he was
once heard to ask, "Why does a person shut his eyes when he sings?" He also has an
inveterate habit of telling jokes, at times when you do not know whether the surroundings
demand that you split your sides laughing, or maintain a sober countenance. However,
it IS not these facts that make him so popular with the girls on class party nights, for
Mack has a horse and buggy. He is a good mathematician, as shown by his being
chosen when the faculty were looking for a substitute Math, teacher. If you understand
two or three languages it will be safe for ycu to speak with him, but if you do not you
are pretty sure to be addressed in some ancient or modern tongue. He is an Alpha
wigma, although membership for him means a four mile walk after the meetings. As to
future Mack is undecided, whether he will manage one of Cook's Tours or restore peace
and tranquillity in Mexico.

Anthropologists disagree. Some say four thousand, some ten thousand, and some
even place it at sixty-four thousand. Doubtless you see that we mean thousands ot
years, and that we refer to the length of man's existence upon the good old earth.
Never m all this time has such a conversation, as the one given below, been recorded.
When the Editor-in-Chief took down the receiver the observant listener might have
heard: "Is that you Jonnie?" "Yes, this is Alma." "We're going to have a staff
meeting tonight, and I want to know all about you, so I can give you a good write-up
before we meet." — "No, of course not, you know better than that, Jon. What in the
world do we care about your love affairs?" — "Yes, that's what we want, but wait a
minute, to what literary society do you belong?" — "What was that?" — "O yes, of
course, Bainonian. You are too modest to say whether you have been a loyal mem-
ber."— "Why, the idea! Everybody knows without telling that you have been." —
"Well, I've got that down. What next?" — "No, we do not want that." — "Say you
are a tennis and basketball player, aren't you?" — "Yes, I remember you played on the
class teams." — "What?" — "No-o-o, yes, I have it down that you are one of the
Associate Editors of the Chilhowean. You sure didn't think we could forget that, did
you?" "Alright, don't forget to tell the rest tonight. Good-bye."

ADDISON STRONG MOORE
Maryville ^
"Add" believes in doing things, iheiefore he has done things, is doing things and
will continue to do things as long as there are things to be done. As the term "things"
may not particularly impress you, we will explain. When only a Freshman, Add held
a position on the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and during the year 1913-14 filled the office
of Vice-President. As one of the most loyal members of the Athenian, he has served it
as Vice-President in 1912-13; and fittingly represented it and our Alma Mater as one
of the Intercollegiate Debaters in 1913; and as student representative on the Intercolle-
giate Committee for the year 1913-14. In athletics, Addison has lived up to his middle
name. As a center on the Scrub Football Team in 1913, he persisted in making holes
in the opposing line no matter how much he was outweighed by his opponent. Besides
these college activities, Addison has been one of the persons to whose consistent work
the Mission owes its existence. With such a record behind him, can you blame the
Seniors for choosing him as Class Treasurer and as Poet on the Editorial Staff of the
Chilhowean ?

"M. K., ""Rusty" or "Sandy" as she is variously known, only recently came to
the editors, and insisted that she be mentioned as the "bronzette" — and of course we
yielded to her entreaties. We have a vague impression that some time in the past, we
were informed that bronze is a mixture of copper, tin, zinc, and lead; therefore we have
reached the conclusion that — but we dare not linger on this. M. K. is our chief expo-
nent of that gentle art that "hath charms to soothe the savage, break a rock, or bust a
cabbage.' She graduated in Piano in 1911; in voice in 1912; and in 1913-14 was
Assistant in Music. She is also a worker along literary lines, having been a member
of the Bainonian Literary Society during her College course. In 1912-13, she served
as Secretary of Bainonian, and in 1913 was chosen to the position of Exchange Editor
en the staff of the College Monthly. Because of her enthusiastic and consistent work,
she was given the honor and responsibility of President of the Y. W. C. A., and her
administration has justified ihe confidence placed m her. Gladly would we write more,
but words fail us. N. B. — Take just one more look at her pxture.

ERNEST MAYRANT REEVES
Sacramenlo, Cal.
.,^. ^°'' ^_ '°"S '™<= ^^^1^" we wanted Reeves, which was seldom, we called him
"Tightwad," but in the sad latter days a certain air of— well, dignity coupled with
reports, brought to us by certain emigrants from the old country, which same old country
being Oklahoma, has fastened upon him the name "Dad," and so Dad he is. Dad has
been with us four years, and for the four yeais has been a member of the Varsity Base-
ball Team, and in 1913 was Captain of the Team. His chief claim to fame is the two
hits he poled off Jeff Tesreau of the Giants, in the famous Giant-Maryville game last
April, but besides this, he has the habit of chasing around promiscuously over the left
hand side of the outfield, and pulling in flies that would have been hits over any but a
fielder of the Cobb-Speaker-Jackson type. Dad was also in 1912-13, a member of
the Athletic Board of Control, and is one of the Assistant Managers of the Chilhowean.
He IS a member of the Athenian Literary Society and holds the endurance record in
Spherical Trig. Dad ran the last quarter of the famous relay race when we were
Freshmen, and he still likes to tell how near it came to being his last quarter. He also
ran at Quarter when we played the '15's Football in 1911, besides having spent
the summer with Chauncy at h ayetteville, and having been for four years senior member
of the firm Tightwad & Co., Students Pressers, as well as an honorary member of the
Tar Heel Club, and Daddy's pet.

"Min," we call her Min for the same reason that we call the kitty, to get her to

ate, unless she flunks in Ethics, which is scarcely probable. Min got her early education
and ambition to come to Maryville at Branham and Hughes Academy at Spring Hill,
Tennessee. There is one thing that we are sure of about Mm, and that is, she has full
possession of one of those highly useful articles, a mind of her own. She has been a
Theta Epsilon, the only one of our class to honor that Society with membership. She
does not seem sufficiently impressed with the wickedness of her immediate surroundings
to want to spend precious time working against them and is looking forward to a mission-
ary career across the seas. And if she goes at that as hard as she goes at "Psych." out-
lines and "Chem." here, we believe she'll make good. She is also somewhat of an artist.
Besides these things, Min is an exclusive society lady, with due emphasis on the exclu-
sive, lor she has not even introduced Him to us yet.

EVA MAY SAMSEL

"Eve" or "Sammy" as she is best known to a few, has been in Maryvilie for five
years, having finished her Prep, work here in 1910. And in these five years she has
had sufficient time to prove her ability in many and varied ways. Eve is a Bainonian
and m 1910-11 was Treasurer and in 1913, President of that Society. In 1913-14
she was a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. But to offset these literary and relig-
ious tendencies. Eve went in for athletics, and her efforts along that line have only
added to the fame, which College traditions give the Samsel name. For two seasons
1912-1 3 and 1913-14 she was a member of the Varsity basketball team, and through
the latter season was Captain of the team. She was also a member of the Athletic
Board of Control. Besides these Athletic propensities Sammy is a suffragette and a
German student, in proof of which last, she once translated the College Song into the
Kaiser's best Deutsch, and received honorable mention therefor. She is an ex-school-
ma'am. We mention this under protest, and in order to satisfy her we desire special
emphasis to be laid on the "ex." And in conclusion, and by the way of further satis-
faction, would mention that Eve desires to exchange post cards with Adam. Let no
little man apply.

JAMES KIRKPATRICK STEWART
Wilmington, Del.
This Delaware Preacher, with the sheepish grin, is known by as many aliases as a
New York Gunman, being variously known as "J. K." Jim, "Jeb," "Jabbo," and
James, and under them all for four years, he has been a very valuable member of our
class. He was President of the class, Sophomore year, 1911-12, and succeeded in
bringing order out of about as chaotic a bunch of Sophomores as ever ran loose on the
Hill. In 1912 J. K. was President of the Y. M. C. A., an unusual honor for a Sopho-
more to receive, and one unusually well borne; and in 1913 he was member of the
Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, being Chairman of the Music Committee, — and just here, we'd
better pause to mention Jeb's musical ability. For three years he has been basso pro-
fundo on the college quartette and about every other quartette on the Hill and in town.
He was further connected with the Y. M. C. A. in 191 3, as Manager of the Lyceum
Course. In 1913, he was President of the Alpha Sigma and also was Janitor of the
Society m the following term. He was a member of our Intercollegiate Team in 1913,
winning in the Oratorical Contest against Carson-Newman here. Jeb also has been a
member of the Class Football and Baseball Teams. He played us just one trick how-
ever, when last September he flew off on a tangent, or some other kind of a biplane, and
went to Wooster, but three brief months sufficed to develop a severe case of Maryvill-
itis in our Jimmie, and just before Santa Claus came to Maryville, J. K. came too.

WILLIAM HARMAN TILFORD
Ludlow, Ky.
"Tilly" came to us fresh from the town of "Sin-sm-at-her," no wonder he has his
hoofed Majesty and the fair sex on his bram. Whatever connection there may be
between Cincmnat. and s.n, this much is sure, the pot began to "bile" in Maryville
when Tilly came around. And it continues to do so. Tilly ,s an Athenian, and a
preacher; a Presbyterian and a Quaker. For two years, during a heavy College
Course, he filled the pulpit of the Friends' Church m town. Filled the pulpit! Well
i should say. Moreover as a member and Secretary of the Ministerial Association, he
helped to found and keep alive a prosperous Mission m the slums of the town. Again
he had a philosophical mmd, and just could not help it. Why you could see it sticking
out all over, and, because of this mmd, he was made Assistant in Psychology m 'I 3-' 14.
There was no fooling with Tilly, whether serving hash at Pearsons, or eating the same.
And this much we know, whatever else he may do out in the walks of life our Tilly
will walk as fast as the next one.

ANDREW BELL WAGGONER
Lebanon
"Wag" passed the High School gauntlet at Castle Heights Prep. School. Then
in his pursuit of knowledge, he entered Cumberland University, taking all the honors
there in his first two years. Then he turned book-agent for a time, and laying by a
goodly store of gain, he turned his steps to Maryville, seeking profit — intellectual and
otherwise — both of which he found. Wag got a late start here, but made up lost time
by his speed. Joining the Athenian, he was soon made program secretary and in the
Spring of '13, he won the Temperance Oration in the Argumentation Class. He was
elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Adelphic Union in '13. His increasing popu-
larity and ability placed him as Editor of the Monthly from the Athenian, and Assistant
Business Manager of the Chilhowean. Wag had an up-hill road to climb, being handi-
capped by weak eyes, ^'et just as he has made his mark in College, so, in years to
come we predict for him a brilliant career, with Proffitt, behind the bar.

1914
We started forth with morning's early daw " _,
To trace the mountain pathway to the ,'<.aK;
The valley mists lay ghostly white about us;
The dew lay diamond bright beneath our feet.
Faint rosy shafts of daybreak touched the summit,
And pale before them waned the lingering moon;
A breeze sprang up, and thru the dark green cedars
Moved to the cadence of a solemn tune.
And so arose, strong to attain the summit.
And stand to gaze below us, at the scene
Far passing any that our valley vision
Could e'er have led us to have dreamed I ween ;
Glad were we then for all the tiresome journey.
Glad for the valley shadows and the spring.
But gladder for the beauty of the vision.
That lay before us there a wondrous thing.
The wine of morning filled our veins with gladness.
And led us carefree up that dew strewn way;
Till pausing, looking down at last behind us.
We saw the valley in its shroud of gray.
But upward on we pressed then toward the summit;
The sun rose high and tired grew our feet ;
The way grew ever steeper, and all wearied
We wished then for the valley's cool retreat.
And so, dear classmates, has our four years' journey
Led us to summits on the hills of life;
Led, it is true, out of rare pleasant valleys.
And up rough steeps 'neath burdens and thru strife;
But led us, no less surely, to the summit
From which, below us lies the world in need.
Fairer to us because we know the struggles
Thru which he goes who wins the victor's meed.
There seemed small promise in that rugged pathway.
Which unrelenting led us ever on.
The peak frowned high above us, and the passes
Seemed steeper than our feet could tread upon ;
But there upon the mountain as we faltered.
And half despairing turned us from the steep.
We found a grassy, sheltered, little haven
Beside whose spring we lay us down to sleep.
But all our journey's vain if at its ending.
We do not sense the purpose of its course.
If seeing all the world in need before us.
We do not stoop to lend it of the force
We gained from sympathy with those who struggle.
And shared with others when the victory's won.
And so altho our glad four years are ended.
We find that life for us is just begun.

Fires and Fireplaces
If you are rooming in a dormitory or if you ever have
roomed m one of those steam-heated arrangements, you know
the beauty of a fire. You know its beauty because you know
what it means to do without it. He must be a cold-blooded
creature indeed who can sit beside a dumb, featureless
radiator, when the north wind is finding every crevice, and
chillmg every bone, if sitting there with a blanket around his
rattlmg bones and the radiator only half-heartedly responsive
to his need, he does not see visions of the fireplace at home,
and long for its old time warming, satisfying glow. It does
not have to be a fireplace, even, it may be a polished, bur-
nished baseburner or only an old wabbly box stove, but if
It IS only that, he would gladly endure the escaping smoke
for the sake of being sure there was a fire at hand.
My mind wanders back now to the old fireplace and to
the stories that the flickenng lights have told to me alone.
There are stories in the fire. Turn out the lights and see the
shadows play upon the wall and floor and ceiling. Turn
your eyes back to the glowing coals and let your thoughts
wander as they will. Today you studied the chemistry of
fire. You found out the theories through which wiser men
than you have sought to solve its mysteries. You found out
about phlogiston and oxidation, and you will go finding out
other things as long as you live; but are you wiser now than
when you used to sit, a child, and fancy that the fairies danced
among the coals? You are not a child now. You have put
away childish thoughts and childish things, but are you better
than the child you were? You are a man now, and still
there are lessons for you in the fire. Stir up the embers and
see the awakened glow, that flushes red through all the room.
There is a purpose, and energy even in those dying coals.
There is a joy in their mission of life and comfort. What
is your mission, and how are you filling it? Are you keeping
your heart closed against your neighbors? Is your face cola
and expressionless, a very tomb-stone of a buried hope? Is
the one next you in life's pathway cold and wayweary be-
cause you fail to lend him warmth and cheer? The fire i?
dying, but still it glows with joy of having done its best.
Ah, see that coal break into pieces and the flames flash
up and light the wall. Your thoughts are wandering again.
55
You travel back in fancy along the path of life, until you
reach the sunny days of childhood. You feel the joy of
springtime in your veins, you catch the rippling cadence of
the brook and hear the birds sing. Your memory wanders
on mto the golden summer sunshme, and fancy leads you
dov^'n mto the cool deep shade along the wmding river. You
wander on into the cool bright days of rare October, when
the wild grapes ripen and the old corncrib fills to bursting,
and then in memory it is winter again, and the old fireplace
makes home a haven of comfort. The years roll on — not
all alike, not always sunny, but filled to overflowing with
fragrant recollections — and never can care come so heavy,
never sorrow so appalling, but an hour beside the old familiar
fire-glow will flood the chambers of the past with a sheen of
golden joy light, and light you back to days of carefree
gladness.
Stir up the embers and forget the chill of all these
lengthening years, pile on more logs, and in the freshening
glow accept a golden promise for the future.
Night
Ah, I sit in my window tonight, as the hght
From the moon wraps the hills in its sheen.
And shadows and shades fill the plains; and the glades
Lie silvery soft m the mists between.
And the sweet night air like a fragrant prayer.
Bears a burden of peace and rest.
From the far off stars, where the paling bars
Of twilight glow, still tinge the west.
And tonight, I can hear the soft rain.
As it warmly caresses the sod,
And its dripping, sweet, incessant refrain,
Is chanting the praise of God.

In the sunny state of Florida, where snow and wintry skies are
never seen, where untold fruits and flowers grow, is the quaint old
city of St. Augustine. On one narrow street stands an old, half-
stone, half-wood building, erected during the 1 6th Century by monks
of St. Francis. It is the oldest house in America.
Once, two Juniors, from Maryville College, raised the great
brass knocker which is upon the door, and waited m excitement and
expectancy until a bright maiden opened and bade them enter.
Within, they found a room with mediaeval furmtures and walls cov-
ered with antique relics and treasures. A kind, old lady told them
wondrous tales of the things they saw, and finally led them to a court
at the rear of the house. She pointed to a round, open-topped old-
fashioned well of stone, and said: "Look into the waters of that
well, young men, until you see your own reflection. Then, make a
wish ;^ and whatever it may be, it will come true. The well never
fails." The youths bent over the edge and gazed long and intently
into the water mirror below. Then, one asked the other- "What
did you wish?" The answer was: "I wished that I might realize
fully and completely the true meanmg of being a Junior." "But,"
said the one who had first spoken, "I cannot see how that would
amount to much, anybody knows what a Junior is." "^'es," his
companion answered, "but there are few who stop to consider' what
It means. As we usually think of it m connection with college life
Junior means merely the Third Year Class— the one ,ust below the
Seniors. But it should signify to us the approach of our Commence-
ment m life s real work; it is the name that should bring to us realiza-
tion of our transition from youth to maturity; for with the advent oi
this year, one casts aside the swaggering bashfulness of Freshman day=
>nd the superior haughtiness of the Sophomore, and assumes a^ain a
natural disposition of increased simplicity and wisdom. Ah' it i=
this year with its readjusting and developing influence, that =hould
cause us to definitely complete our plans of life. Do you my cla-
mate friend, think of these things or do you only dnft alon<. .ettm^
your credits, and hoping that school days will soon be over an°d vou
will soon be a man?"
''I must confess," replied the Junior who had been listeiun..,
that 1 had not thought of it in just that way."
V ^'^,/°"'P^"i°" continued, "Junior does not alone mean a TTurd
> ear College Student; it, more correctly, denotes a Vounger person —
a youth. Youth comes and rests so lightly upon our shoulders ;' we
bear it so thoughtlessly, so aimlessly, then cast it carelessly aside for-
getting that once It IS gone no earthly power can bring U back. 'This
well, dug so long ago, in this city, built by those who came across the
great deep ocean m search of the long-sought 'Fountain of Youth '
wrests from my heart a prayer that ue ^^-ho are Juniors m a T,.entreth
Century Christian College, may, before it is too late, lav hold upon
the full significance of the name we bear."
"Oh, thou Ancient Well, stamp upon us an imprmt of thy name.
61
and grant us this wish: that with our opportunity and potential power,
we may so moid our bodies, minds, and souls, that when our years
are many and our steps are slow, we shall have no need to search
beyond our own hearts to find the Fountain of Youth!"
And our Junior friends left that house that day wiser and more
thoughtful, and returned to their Alma Mater with new and loftier
resolution.

Lawn-tennis has always held the interest of Maryville College
students in a more or less diluted form. It is considered by most
people a very foolish game, because at the end of a hard afternoon,
the ball is just where it was in the beginning, and the only thing that
has changed is the white duck pants. Somebody has said that, when
a strong farmer with wrists like the ankles of a Missouri mule, watches
a few city dudes chasing a fuzzy ball with enlarged fly swatters, and
shouting "love all," "love fifteen," and other mormonistic expressions, he
cannot conceal his scorn and never tries to. A great many strong
men have decided to play a game of lawn-tennis with some small
collegian and an hour or so later have retired in a state of collapse,
having run seven or eight miles without getting there in time to swat
the ball.

In looking back over the events of the past year we find
the Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixteen still in the ascendency.
The same success that crowned our early endeavors has re-
mained with us and carried us on to victory. Last year we
disproved the idea that all Freshmen are green and inexperi-
enced; this year we have shown the world that a Sophomore
can make good his boast.
Into every phase of College activity we have entered
with energy and enthusiasm. In literary societies and relig-
ious organizations we have been active. We have lost none
of our former prestige in athletics. Out of our fourteen rep-
resentatives on the field ten have made Varsity teams.
There are other teams also for which there has been
much competition but as yet the personnel of these teams has
not been definitely settled. Adams, Robinson, Park, and
Threlkeld have been the principal candidates. Mr. Carver
has long since gone to the big leagues and m the terminology
of baseball he seems to have his place "cinched." Were
it not for the glowing example he sets so constantlv before
aspiring youth we might have reasons to believe that the
article known as "moonshine" would disappear entirely from
College Hill.
Of our class spirit and loyalty we are justlv proud, for
■n all our class affairs there is a unity which is remarkable
We are also proud of the friendly alliance that has alwav^
existed between our class and the Class of Nmeteen Hundred
Fourteen. They have shared our pleasures, sympathized ir
defeat, and aided us in difficulties; and as thev leave their
Alma Mater our best wishes go with them, and our assurance
that they will ever live in our memories.

We are the largest class in the history of Maryville Col-
lege. Now somewhere we have read that "H : P : : L : W"
(definition of labor). Therefore we are also the most in-
dustrious class in the history of old Maryville. But to make
quantity and quality interesting there must be variety, and
that we have. Western breeziness and scrapping spirit.
Northern courage and business ability. Southern smiles and
loyalty, have formed us into an unsurpassed amalgam.
The rising sun of college life greets us with a glorious
morning. The opportunities and pleasures of our first year
have been great. Friendships many and lasting have been
formed; new visions of this great world around us have been
disclosed; higher ideals have been born within us. For these
we are sincerely thankful. Thankful to the home folks,
whose love made possible our coming; thankful to the faculty,
whose faithful instruction we have enioved; thankful to those
gone before us. whose toil made possible Old College Hill.
Within us the athletic spirit is strong and deep. Foot-
ball, baseball, basketball, have the same irresistible attraction
they have ever had. There could have been as many acts
of valor, as many occasions for the hero to play up to as in any
past tournaments and contests; but that "could" reminds us
of Maud Muller:
"For of all sad words of tongue or pen.
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.' "
A slight dissension, and the Sophs, were cautious. Our
noble spirit was suppressed. But the lid cannot always be
forced down. The desire is simmering; next year will surely
find it bubbling over.
As to scholarship our class is high. We have more than
the usual quota of natural geniuses, born orators, and heavenly
warblers. However, our sun is only rising, not as yet having
reached meridian. But steadily climbing, with noble efforts
we are realizing, that he only conquers who conquers himself.
Having started on the journey we look expectantly forward;
but the winding of the road and the rugged hills obstruct the
vision. Anticipation and not realization paints the picture of
the cap and gown day of '17.

Our Little Freshman
There was a little Fieshie, who had to climb a hill; .'
They called it "Hill of Knowledge" and he started with a will.
His eye was bhthe and merry, his head he carried high.
■"Pshaw! such a little hillock, what's it to you and I?"
So forth he fared upon it, but Oh! Alack! Alack! ■ -
For he forgot to lighten the load upon his back.
Indeed he loved his burden and had no mind to ship it,
The heavier it bore him down, the harder did he grip it.
The Spiteful Sophie guyed, "Fling out some ballast there.
Of fear of girls, and big conceit you've plenty and to spare."
The jolly Junior reached a hand to help him on a bit,
The Senior once wise deigned a glance and almost had a fit.
And when he slowly came around and saw "where he was at"
He dropped his load upon the ground before you could say scat.
Then up the hill the Freshie went, and went up with a will,
And till he gains the topmost point you'll see him going still.
That loathesome pack upon the ground — I'll tell you what was in it;
Conceit so big it weighed a ton, and gaining every minute;
And mackinaws and "classy" clothes and pompadours in plenty.
And varied ties, I counted them, and found an even twenty.
And idle boasts and other things, but Oh! let's leave them lying;
Our Freshie has them underfoot; he's great, there's no denying;
And now at length in closing it might be well to state.
That though the Freshman has his faults in some things he's just great.
For Freshie had a football team; there's none that will debate it;
Or if there be, come out and see, we'll gladly demonstrate it.
The game was scheduled, Freshie was eager for the strife.
The faculty objected, and saved poor Sophie's life;
And surely you'll agree with me as closing I recite
"What's the matter with the Freshman? The Freshman, he's all right."

" America, the Hospitable Nation
As one repeats the names of the various nations and countries,
almost instantly some symboHc mental or moral trait of each presents
itself. Sodom and Gomorrah were once towns of some commercial
importance. We do not think of them, however, as trade centers, but
rather as sins. Babylon is the name for proud worldliness, and it will
probably remain such although clay tablets have been discovered which
show that its citizens practiced domestic economy and collected their
debts by due process of law.
Coming to the twentieth century, we have Russia, the land of
the down-trodden peasant, the symbol of cruelty. Germany, with
its vast armies and navies is a nation of war. China with its teeming
millions, until a few years ago, presented a sad picture of stagnation.
A scum of ignorance and superstition seemed to have encased the whole
country which shut out the light of progress and harbored the poison
of decay.
Upon the mention of the United States, however, a peculiar
difficulty presents itself. At first thought there seems to be no marked
characteristic standing out boldly. We are a nation continental in
breadth and fabulously rich.
We are proud of our waving grain fields and our unsearchable
resources, but shall we attribute to these our greatness? It is no mere
accident that America was withheld from the eye of civilization. Until
a few centuries ago it was a virgin nation, untouched by the evil imagi-
nations of the ancient world. In bringing it within the reach of civili-
zation there seems to be some overmastering purpose.
In this land of boundless prairies and wheat fields, in this land
of refuge for the oppressed, in this land of peace and tranquillity, in
this land of the forward-looking man, it seems to me that there was
destined to be developed a society, and a government based upon the
brotherhood of man. In fact we like to think of America as the
Hospitable Nation.
■- This is the land of the Pilgrim's pride. Here our fathers came
poor and heartsick. They did not find broad fields ready for the
harvest, nor comfortably awaiting occupancy, but America gave to
them freedom, her rarest gift. She placed over them no powerful
potentate who should dictate to them when to worship, how to live,
and what tribute to lay at his feet.
The Frenchman heard of this wonderful land, and came to see
it. So warm was his welcome, and kind his treatment that soon the
home-land was forgotten. The German heard, and curious to see,
he too came, only to yield to the charming influence of our hospitality,
and soon Germany was forgotten. The Russian, the Jew, the Italian,
and the Greek all in their turn learned of America. The temptation
was too strong and they came each meekly submitting to the charm.
The news spread to all the world. The little section of rocks and
rills and templed hills could no longer hold the swelling throng. The
boundless prairies, the Rockies and the Pacific slope, each in succession
was turned over to the newcomers. Men of every race, clime and
rank, all sharmg the bounty of America's hospitality.
"Open thy gates," says the poet, "O thou Favored of Heaven,
Open thy gates to the homeless and poor.
So shah thou garner the gifts of the ages.
From the Northlands their vigor, the Southland their grace.
In a mystical blending of souls, that presages
The birth of earth's rarest, undreamable race."
The Celt and Latin, Slav and Teuton, Greek and Syrian, black
and yellow. Yes, East and West, and North and South, the palm
and the pme, the pole and the equator, the crescent and the cross, all
mingle in the happy consciousness of their freedom.
This hospitable spirit has permeated root and branch of the whole
nation. The laborer dwelling m happiness and contentment receives
a living wage for his toil. The merchant and manufacturer pursue
their business without a thought of interruption by the ravages of war.
Men of science and wealth are accomplishing gigantic results, which
are adding not merely to the necessities, but to the comforts and lux-
uries of life. They are taking possession of earth, air, and water, and
forces contained in them and making them minister to human life.
The dry and arid lands of the West no longer lie desolate and
barren, but smile with rich harvests under the magic of the engineer's
hand. The denuded mountain sides are being clothed again with the
green verdure of the forests. The pillagers of our resources have been
arrested in the midst of their spoils. The ravages of plague and
disease are being stayed by the surgeon's skill. To childhood is being
restored its birthright. Education is dispelling the gloom of ignorance,
and giving to us a keen eye for our faults. Though it is a disgrace
to us that we still tolerate bad conditions in our land, yet we do not
recognize anything as hopeless. We have here a healmg spirit of
self-criticism and self-condemnation, whose ideal is to make things
better.
It would be a long story to enumerate the category of achieve-
ments which is America's pride. It will suffice now to lay the credit
to the spirit of hospitality, which has permitted these things to come
to pass, which has prompted the weahhy men of our nation to pour
out their vast riches for the uphft of humanity, and the poor man to
add his mite of sympathy.
America's hospitahty has gone a step farther. Upon our shores
may be heard, with ever increasing clearness, the echo of that song
sung twenty centuries ago, by the white robed choir to the shepherds
on the Judean hillsides. "Peace on earth, good will among men."
The blare of the bugler's trumpet and the crash of shot and shell have
overwhelmed the angel song for a time, but now the heavenly music
is filling the hearts of men anew.
High on the Andes, on ihe boundary line of Argentina and Chili,
nearly three miles above the level of the sea, is a colossal statue of
Christ, an everlasting tribute to America's efforts for world-wide peace.
May the day soon come, when a similar statue shall be raised on the
boundary line of every nation as an enduring witness to perpetual
peace. And may the Divine Hand forbid that our folly shall transfer
the leadership in universal peace from the United States of America
to any other nation on the face of the globe.
We abhor war. Sherman said "War is hell." The Civil War
has taught us a lesson never to be forgotten. After fifty long years
the scars of hatred are plamly visible. Will they ever heal? We
pray unceasingly at the Throne of Grace to be delivered from the
carnage of war. O the sorrow, the long sleepless nights, the hearts
rung with grief, the helpless widows, the fatherless children. Who
dares to champion the cause of war?
The French, in days gone by, settled their disputes by a duel
between the two contending parties, but that has been condemned as
a relic of barbarism. Why is it any more fitting and proper then,
that large bodies of men should settle their disputes by a life and
death conflict, even more barbarous in nature?
In the early centuries might made right. The weak lived in
dread of the powerful. Unrest and discontent filled the hearts of all.
No one wishes for those days. We are content to yield our disputes
to a jury and abide by its decision. Whether there be two in the
suit, or a dozen, or a hundred the verdict is left in the hands of the
jurors. What reason is there then, when that number is increased
to millions, for scorning the decision of an impartial body sitting in
judgment and bowing down to the wise and judicious decision of shot
and shell?
War is the law of the ignorant. It is the disgrace of civilized
nations and the blight of Christianity. America, however, has caught
a vision of something higher. Upon its troubled mind came the
thought that there must be some better method of settling disputes.
Upon its heart came the spirit of the angel song, and now the breezes
9Q
are wafting those notes of peace to the ends of the earth from the
shores of America.
Longfellow has said:
"Were half the war that fills the world with terror.
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from error.
There would be no need for arsenals and forts.
The warrior's name would be a name abharred, /
And every nation, that should lift its hand
Against a brother, upon its forehead
Would wear forevermore the curse of Cain."
Ever since Cain killed Abel, this world has been one ceaseless
turmoil of strife and conflict. Brother against brother, and father
against son, hold before us a pitiable picture. The pilgrim fled from
England in the hope that he might find peace. The Jew, the man
without a country, sought America as a haven of refuge. The utter-
most parts of the earth came weary and footsore asking for rest. And
now the cup, full to overflowing, is spreading its healing balm on
the troubled nations of the earth.
\es, the story goes on with increasing wonder. America is the
land of refuge, the land of freedom and opportunity. It is the land
ihat is restoring to childhood its birthright, that is giving to men the
light of education, that is correcting the errors of centuries, that is unit-
ing the world in the bonds of brotherhood and peace.
O Spirit of Hospitality, thou that hast looked upon us so kindly
and raised us above the nations of the earth, burn in our hearts the
secret of thy charm that it may never be forgotten.

Home Economics Department
Next June when the old friends and students return to College
Hill, they will be eager to see the much-talked-of, long-looked-for
third floor of Science Hall, where is located the new Home Eco-
nomics Department. Erected thru the gift of a friend the beautifully
finished addition stands as the Mary Esther Memorial. In fine, big.
well-ventilated rooms they will find the new department organized and
equipped. The attractive lecture hall is amply supplied with chairs
and board space. This room opens into the sewing room, furnished
with tiers of lockers, long tables and several sewing machines.
96
Next is the big kitchen, equipped with the apphances of a modern
domestic science laboratory. The marble topped desk-tables and
individual oil stoves extend in two rows down the room. The two
ranges are used m group work, and the four sinks are conveniently
located. Spacious cupboards line one wall. Double swinging doors
lead into the pretty dining-room, furnished in fumed oak. In the
reading room, the reference library contains text-books, magazines and
government bulletins. And as they come away, our friends will join
with us in our praise of the Home Economics Department of Maryville
College.

Bai
ainonian
As always, Bainonian stands for faithful work. Last year's
Senior Class robbed Bainonian of some of her most faithful workers.
Of the fifteen Senior girls thirteen were Bainonians. Early in the fall
the society received new strength in the enrollment of forty-four new
members. These girls have entered heartily into the work and have
helped the old girls "make the society go." The number enrolled is
one hundred two. It is just a band of girls, each working for the
pleasure, uplift and growth of the whole.
After welcoming the new girls and receiving a number of them
into her ranks, Bainonian demanded that her girls give an account of
their holiday months at a "Vacation Evening." Soon after this she
gave each college class an evening in which to present the talents of its
members. After a month of such programs, programs crammed with
thought and cleverness, it was time for a change. It was then that
Bainonian beckoned to the Preps, and made them do their best to
relieve the strain. After the Preps, had enthusiastically rendered their
programs, classes forgot the rivalry of former evenings and Prep, and
College girls alike joined in lending interest to the programs. One
evening was given over to Autumn ; some evenings have been devoted
to music; and others have been devoted to the life and work of great
men. Realizing that looking at a question from merely one viewpoint
tends to make the girls narrow, Bainonian has presented several ques-
tions in debate during the past months. Another feature of the pro-
grams which has been of interest has been the "Bainonian Weekly"
appearing from time to time.
Interesting as the above mentioned programs have been, perhaps
the evening longest to be remembered by those who took part, was the
evening when all things were extemporaneous. The last meeting before
the girls left for their Christmas vacation was a most interesting one.
A short program was rendered during which time we tried to count the
presents on the tree to see if there were enough to go around. While
we were doing this we were trying hard to remember whether or not we
had been good, and were on the lookout for Santa's appearance.
When he appeared our doubts vanished, and we were soon very much
alive with joy and mirth over our gifts. Some got fruit; others got
toys; but all got much pleasure, and enough happiness to "tune up"
good for the home going. Since Christmas the society is again active
and alert.
As year by year girls leave Bainonian Hall and others take their
places we are sure that wit and thought, fun and knowledge, recreation
and inspiration will still be found there. To such a society life Bain-
onian calls worthy girls, girls who are unwavering and true.

A Legend of Attainment
■ Within the borders of an unfamiliar land many strange things
happen, which little Tigela had never thought could come to pass. One
night as she came in from the field while the crescent moon hung low
in the heavens, she was too weary to see the glory of the clear starlight
upon her valley among the southern mountains, and she only wondered
dimly over the absence of her father. She knew he must have gone
into the city world, of whose wonders she at times heard her people
talk in mysterious tones, for she had never been beyond the rude bound-
ary line between their valley and the road leading to the outside world
far away over the mountains. As she prepared the simple evening
meal, she thought about her father's unwonted absence, but she waited
in vain for his return and ate her share of the supper in silence. She
did not sing as she cleared away the things but stood awhile in the
doorway, for there was no song in her heart, no joy of the expectation
and achievement of a young life, for her horizon was enclosed by the
line of dark blue mountains. The young moon had gone and only the
stars shone back into the dark eyes turned searchingly to the skies.
Tigela was tired from the hard day's work in the cornfield, and
she sought the hard bed in the little loft of the rude cabin and fell
asleep. But it was not a dreamless sleep, for tonight she has a strange
vision. The young moon seemed to rise again and in its clear radiance,
the teacher from the settlement below, entered the doorway. She had
been there before and Tigela had worked hard to master the mysteries
of reading and writing and had eagerly sought the knowledge of books.
Now the teacher smiled, and beckoned to her with something which
glittered in the light. Then she spoke: "Tigela, thou art lonely, and
there are none to look after thy welfare. Thou hast been ever faithful
and patient, and careful to neglect no task. Thy troubles now are
over. Take this key which has glowed for ages under ancient stars, —
it is the key of knowledge, find thou the lock which it fits. Waste not
thy young life in ihe lonesome valley, start upon thy search. The lock
for thee to unfasten lies in the world of thought and action. Only the
patient and understanding heart can enter the door, but the light will
guide thee safely to happiness." The vision vanished and Tigela awoke
thinking of the key.
The dream seemed so real she could think of little else that morn-
ing, and it did not seem strange that as she started for the corn-field
she met a neighbor. "Come, child," he said, "thy father sends a
message to you. Thou canst have thy desire and be now among the
host of young souls who are seeking after knowledge. Over yonder
mountain and the plain wilt thou find the lock." He gave her a stout
bag and a key, and watched her out of sight as she set her face toward
the sunrise on the road.
It was a lonely way, but the morning brightness made it a glad
one and Tigela thought not of the rocks or the hot sand. At length
she came into a narrow pass. How dark it looked and she almost
wanted to turn back. But ihe thought of what was before her, made
her heart brave as she walked on through the place made gloomy and
dark by the trees. The pass became narrower and steeper, and at th^
top a large wooden door barred her way. At her effort the door swung
102
open and Tigeld walked through the gap and found herself gazing out
upon a flat country. There lay a town astir with the day's work. The
people were going hither and thither with their carts, working in the
fields, happy and singing.
Tigela was now no longer alone as she trod the broad, white road,
for many young joyous-hearted youths and maidens and wise counselors
were walking the same way. Often they extended a helping hand to
one another when there was need, and they found sweet fellowship
together. Weary as she sometimes was, Tigela could not but burst
into song. "Out of the lonely valley, through the narrow pass have I
come," she sang; "the door has swung wide, the road is bright, and
tho the way be long, the light shall guide to wisdom and happiness."
So they journeyed onward. When the sun was high they sought
the cool and rest of the great trees which grew by the roadside. But the
way was pleasant and their hearts were strong and ever courageous.
Every day they toiled and as they overcame each hindrance they saw
the light ahead and the march was upward. The fields grew more and
more lovely as they travelled farther and farther. Birds sang, flowers
became sweeter, and the tall grass nodded in the sunlight, swaying in
the gentle breeze. The familiar mountains had long ago faded from
Tigela's sight and she walked in a new way. The unexplored places
were fairer, and at last the joy and achievement of youth surrounded
her, and thankfully she lifted her face to the sky, as she pressed onward.
The road led to a beautiful city which they had seen from afai
as a mirage. Still there remained many turns in the road, here it was
narrow, there wide, sometimes smooth, again rough, but they lingered
longingly among the fields of blue lilies and hesitated as they crossed
the murmuring streams, for the company knew the end of the road was
near and each must take a new path. They were now nearer the city
and the sight of the minarets and white towers gleaming against the
blue heavens made their hearts beat fast and the glory of the goal
quickened their steps. But as they drew close, the city battlements
confronted them, high and impassable, and their spirits would have
fainted at the sight, but the wise counselors cheered them, for they had
guided young feet that way before, and they knew the entrance to the
City Beautiful. In the city walls were iron gates. Tigela's courage
was high for she had gone over the road untraversed by her people, and
when she came to the gates, lo, her key fitted the lock of one, and every
other one of the company had a key also, and so they separated and
each entered the gate they could unlock and were soon lost from view
in the busy crowded world within.
A great peace stole into Tigela's heart and she sang "Out of the
lonely valley, through the nairow pass have I come, the door has swung
wide, the road was bright, tho the way was long, the gate of iron has
unlocked before me, toil is victory, the light is guiding, and wTsdom and
happiness have 1 found the guerdon." TheTA.

Athenian Midwinter Participants
The Athenian Literary Society is the oldest student organization
on College Hill. In the fall ternn of 1886 a band of aspiring young
niien met and resolved to pursue literary attainments under the name of
"Athenian." hrom then until this day to be an Athenian has been
esteemed an honor.
Those boys of the sixties set their standard high, and it has ever
been upheld. No college can boast of a Literary Society from whose
doors have gone more men to reach heights of fame in their chosen
work. The old .Athenian numbers among her sons college presidents,
educators, theologians, statesmen, missionaries, professional men in every
walk of life who are filling places of honor and trust in the world.
Former Athenians will learn with pleasure of the recent refurnish-
ing of our hall. A new speaker's stand, officers' desks, and upholstered
chairs for the members, all in the popular mission style, have been
installed. A Brussels carpet has been laid, and a handsome electnc
chandelier makes brilliant the assembly hall. We now boast of a hall
surpassed by none.
We are proud we're Athenians, and we're proud of the societ}''s
record, and justly so, for one more worthy of emulation cannot be
found. May the Athenians of the future attain even greater success
than have those of the past.

In this, the thirtieth year since the founding of our Society, we
can have but one regret — that the nature of a college literary society
makes it impracticable for all who claim membership to assemble in
person for a celebration fitting to this occasion. But if it were possible
for us to come together at this beloved shrine of learning, we could find
in the College no building large enough to hold all of us. It is not
unfittmg then, that the Society's message should be conveyed to you,
not by voice but by the medium of the Chilhowean — the recognized
organ of Maryville College.
Thirty years ago the Alpha Sigma Literary Society was an ideal
existing only in the mind of a few far seeing students; today it is the
practical realization of that ideal but greater, grander, and better than
its nine founders ever dared to hope it could be ; for since the Society
was founded there has begun an era of great ideas, to keep pace with
the spirit of which has ever been the aim of our organization. It has
seen the establishment of wireless communication, the practical perfec-
tion of aerial navigation, the building of the Panama Canal, the unifica-
tion of the world's business interests, the conquest of diseases long
thought incurable, the discovery of the extreme ends of the earth, and
our society has helped in these great world movements by giving its
members practical training, that has enabled them to march in the
forefront of progress. And in giving thus of its best to those who have
sought a means of perfecting their education by becoming members, the
Society has suffered no loss of power, but has grown in size and influ-
ence with them.
Forward, Alpha Sigma! Our loyalty to this slogan is attested by
the vigorous condition of both senior and junior sections, whose mem-
bership includes many of the most progressive students on the Hill.
Athletes, orators, debaters, and musicians, vocal and instrumental, con-
stitute a combination of the best all-round society members that can be
produced who climb, hand in hand, "the mount of knowledge, steep
and high."
It may be true that the orations of some of our members, newer
m.embers, are not the distilled essence of wisdom which comes with
experience and maturity, but, from an impartial observation of our
Society at work, it is evident that the majority of its members are over-
coming the inabilities of youth, and are learning to speak logically,
distinctly, and to the point. We long ago discovered that the secret
of success is work. We are a Society of originators, creators, pro-
ducers, and every man has a message — something to say out of the
depths of his growing experience, which will help his fellow workers
to see the way. We have set ourselves a noble goal, and, having in
mind our motto — "Sapientiam et Stabilitatem acquiramus eundo" — we
go forward ever taking new pilgrims on the way. We teach that prog-
ress comes through taking all the value from past and present in order
that it all may be put into a glorious future.
Originally the Society was not very comfortably lodged. Today
our hall is not only comfortable, but it is graced with rare gifts from
108
members, who have a warm place in their hearts for the good old
Society, that gave them an opportunity for development. Among the
gifts, which so eloquently express what we are pleased to call the
"Alpha Sigma Spirit of Loyalty," are an acacia gavel sent from Jeru-
salem by a noble son ; and a solid ivory gavel and an ebony bulletin
board fashioned by sable hands, trained by our own Fred Hope, in
Darkest Africa.
This loyalty is doubtless due to the policy ever pursued by the
Alpha Sigma Literary Society, to create a democracy, wherein will be
opened to all members equally the avenue to literary and oratorical
experience, and provide a way to let members use as they can and will,
in combined or individual action, the opportunities so liberally bestowed.
It strives to overcome those tendencies which produce a life detached
and isolated from the spirit of Maryville College. This policy is
undoubtedly helping the College produce that valuable type of man,
who knows something of the workings of the world about him; whose
receptive mind lets in new ideas, that give him genuine sympathy with
the problems that other men must face, and assists him to ally himself
with the forces that work for the betterment of humanity.
A Society like ours is but the assemblage of the talents, the capaci-
ties, the virtues of the students who compose it. To utilize these tal-
ents, to evoke these capabilities, to offer scope and opportunity for thes:
virtues, is the avowed end and purpose of our organization. By pro-
viding an intellectual background, interwoven with college interests, its
members are given an opportunity to acquire a stronger personality and
widened business experience, that will be valuable in after life. And
this is not all. The dust of oblivion may cover our records, our literary
work may be forgotten, but if we have learned to be more sympathetic,
more generous in spirit, and fairer in judgment, our work will not have
been in vain.

Alpha Sigmas Making Good
(This series started in 1913 Chilhowean)

Fred Hope — Graduated from Maryville College in 1906.
While on the Hill he was an active leader in many lines of student
activity. He was prominent in the Alpha Sigma Literary Society, was
President of the Y. M. C. A. for two terms; and was responsible for
the inauguration of the Lyceum course. After leaving Maryville he
took a course of training in the White Bible Training School, at New
York City, and in 1907 sailed for Africa where he took charge of the
Frank James Industrial School, at Elat. This work has had a most
surprising growth and is now one of the most successful missionary
enterprises in the world. Maryville College students contribute to the
support of this work, and look upon Fred Hope as their personal repre-
sentative.
Y. W. C. A.
The student who belongs to the Y. W. C. A. of Mary-
ville College is then connected with one of the most promi-
nent organizations of the country for the education, social and
religious training of young women. This work is carried on
especially in the large cities where there are splendid build-
ings well equipped for teaching domestic art and languages,
for gymnasium work and for social times for the girls who
would not otherwise be able to enjoy such privileges. This
religious work, carried on by consecrated leaders, is becoming
a large factor in the lives of joung people for greater useful-
ness and higher living.
Almost every institution of higher learning has a Young
Women's Christian Association. The union was organized
in Maryville in 1 888 and at present there are one hundred
and twenty members enrolled. The Association stands for
the aims and interests of the College and all that is highest,
truest and noblest, educationally and socially. The obiect
of this union of Christian young women is to help the best
m every girl to become predominant; to develop Christian
character and growth of spiritual faculties ; to prompt each
girl to glorify God in her daily life, and to bear his message
to those whom she meets. The object is attained by means
of organized Christian work carried out with interest and
enthusiasm along various lines. There are prayer groups,
Bible Study and Mission Classes, and the regular Sunday
afternoon meeting.
To every girl, as she enters Maryville, the Christian
Association bids a cordial welcome to the hearty participa-
tion in their fun, to earnest college work and to a large part in
the Christian activity of the College. Every girl is invited
to enter into this fellowship, for her strength in the ser\ice id
the kingdom of God is needed, and the Association will be
helpful in the development of her Christian life. As we
progress each year in our education we are trying to grow-
"in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" and
to bring manv in this and other lands to kno\\- Him 'Nvhom
to know aright is life eternal."
113
Y. M. C. A.
Maryville College was founded by a Christian man and
for the purpose of Christian education. Down through the
years, as the College has grown, this foundation principle has
ever been in view, and today, Maryville College stands before
all else for Christian Education. It is therefore, a natural
consequence that the religious organizations hold a foremost
place in its activities. In the character and scope of its work
the Y. M. C. A. stands at the head of these organizations.
Our Y. M. C. A. is recognized as one of the oldest and
strongest of College Associations in the South. Our build-
ing IS one of the finest to be found among Southern schools.
It was built entirely through the efforts of students, years ago
in the poorer and less pretentious days of the College. It
serves as a home for the Y. M. C. A. and the Athletic
Association.
The primary purpose of the Association is the Christian
development of the student body, and it endeavors to employ
a practical policy in the fulfillment of this purpose. There
are of course the regular devotional meetings; there are large
Bible and Mission Study Classes; there is a good readable
library. In conjunction with other religious organizations of
the College, we have, during the past year, sent delegates to
sectional and national conventions. Each year the only
Official Information Bureau on the Hill is conducted by the
Y. M. C. A. The publication of the "College Handbook,"
containing condensed facts and statistics relating to the Col-
lege, and the management of the Lyceum Course are entirely
under the Association's direction and control. There is
truly, no phase of college life which the Y. M. C. A. does
not touch.
There are faults, plenty of them, in the Association
work. But the purpose is worthy, the goal is high, the mis-
sion is from above, and whatever shortcomings there may be
are but the mistakes in human efforts to do the Divine will.

Football
As football seasons go, the past one at Maryville was a failure.
Although unsuccessful in a sense, it must be remembered, however, that
both teams cannot win, and that a defeated team is still successful if it
can accept reverse quietly and fairly, and can feel that the utmost effort
has gone mto the development of the best team possible. In this way
it is that the great game of football becomes ever more surely established
as a clean and manly sport.
Certamly too great credit cannot be given the football men of the
1913 squad for their earnest efforts. At the beginning of the season
six positions were open. Practice began in earnest early in September
and an unusually large number reported for work. After some two
weeks of practice a fast, medium-weight team had been developed.
The first game of the season, with Central High School on Sep-
tember 23rd, resulted in an easy victory by a score of 26 to 0. This
game revealed the fact that we possessed a strong back-field and also
plenty of contestants for the other vacant positions. Many substitutes
were used in the progress of the game, and the outlook for a successful
team was excellent. But our hopes were short-lived, for a few days
later we lost four of our most valuable men. In the following games
we were defeated by Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Florida, and on
October 20th, we lost to Stetson University at DeLand, Florida, by
the score of I 3 to 2. A break in our line of reverses came however in
our next game which was with Athens School, here, we being victorious
by a large score. But on November I st King College gave us a sur-
prise, defeating us 1 3 to 7. The next Saturday Cumberland University
gave us the next big game of the season. The field was wet and muddy
as a result of an all morning's drizzle. Our goal was in danger only
once, when Cumberland by a fake play carried the ball with the aid
of solid interference down the field eighty yards and across our goal.
The game ended with the score 23 to 7 in our favor. Our last game
of the season at home was with Chattanooga, on November 14th, and
ended with a I 4 to 7 score in the visitor's favor. Chattanooga's pow-
erful offense was mainly built about Hampton who was the strongest
and most consistent ground gainer on the field. Even then but for costly
fumbles Maryville undoubtedly would have won.
In the Carson-Newman game, on November 22nd, the team did
not seem to have recovered from the Chattanooga defeat, and the game
was a disappointment, Carson-Newman winning by the score of 1 7
to 3. 1 he season ended on Thanksgiving day with the annual Y. M.
C. A. game on Waif field and again we were losers 1 8 to 0.
The work of the team as a whole was good. Clean, hard play-
ing drew favorable comment wherever they played, while Coach Wil-
liams everywhere received much commendation for his novel plays.

Girls' Basket Ball Team
FIRST TEAM
The girls' basketball team, although it had many drawbacks in
the beginnmg of the season, has developed, under the direction of Coach
Bond, into one of the strongest teams Maryville has ever produced.
Out of the games already played, only one has been lost, and that by
a small margm.

Basket Ball
1 he beginning of this year found every regular man of last sea-
son's team back in school. Coach Williams was also on hand, and
prospects for a winning team were brighter than for years. These pros-
pects have materialized. Taking into consideration the rapid develop-
ment of basketball in the South, the constantly increasing strength of
neighboring teams, and the vast extension of our schedule during the
past few years, it is not improbable that we have, this year, the strongest
basketball team that has ever represented Maryville College. Both in
] 9 1 3 and 1914 we have made a good showing against the strongest
teams in the South.
The greatest handicap has come from the ruling of the S. I.
A. A. to the effect that in competing against Association Colleges and
Universities, Maryville must play a team composed exclusively of
college men.
The most extensive trip of the season was to Roanoke, Virginia.
En route six games were played, Maryville winning two and losing
four. At the close of the season, the Varsity will have played twenty
games.
Next year we will lose "J'l"" Brittain, who for three years has
been our steadiest guard. However, the remaining members of the team
will be back, and a fast aggregation should be developed.
As usual the "Scrubs" are very strong and at this time have not
met defeat.

Baseball
The 1913 baseball team was certainly composed of a bunch of
"Come-backs." Not a case of old, worn, and rickety diamond veterans
coming back into the ranks of college ball, but of hearty and happy
college boys, who always came back home sober, and most of the time
with an extra victory in their shoes, but not with extra shoes. Their
favorite pastime was, to wait until the opposing team was sure of vic-
tory, then come back with such a storm of hits that the outfielders of
the other team would use umbrellas. Twenty-one of twenty-seven
games were pickled in Maryville jars.
Once they came back without either side winning but not when
they played the New York Giants in Knoxville, and McGraw said, it
was as good an all college team as he'd ever seen. When the season
was over each man declared his intention of coming back for the 1914
season, and the most of them made that declaration good.

Track
The track season of 1913 was a decided success. It is true, that
with us track is still in its infancy, but as to the lustiness of that infant,
the schools from both Virginia and Tennessee, who met us at Bristol
can testify. It was our first contest outside of dual meets, and we
handily took second place and threw quite a scare into the camp of
Johnson & Co. (Tusculum), the winners.
The team that represented us was a consistent one, well-balanced,
and dependable, the relay team showing a dash that was very pleasing.
Several records were broken, and several more equaled, for which
there can readily be formed a reason: the men who accomplished this
were those who had trained consistently.
We are looking forward this year to still greater achievements in
this, the cleanest, most open and individualistic of college sports. \^'e
have the men, we have the spirit, and we will win.

Jeffries' Storehouse
Back in the Smoky Mountains is a low flat-topped hill, on the
highest point of which stands a long low house. It seemed so strange
and lonely there. The huge mountains surround and overtop it on every
side, as if they wished to enfold it in their rough stony arms, and the
rays of the sinking sun flooding in upon it, light the whole hilltop with
yellow and gold. The bare stumpy field, in which this strange house
stands, slopes gently down in all directions to a ring of rugged cliffs,
and from the shadows far below one can hear the splash and tinkle of
tiny streams as they play together in the darkness.
Come, my friends! Let us go together to this strange place to see
what we can see. And now the lowering sun sinks through the distant
pine-tops, where the pine-tops touch the sky. The gold fades into gray,
and in the growing gloom the rough, yet kindly mountains, seem to hug
more closely around. Now from the grayness of the housetop a wreath
of smoke arises, faintly upward. A man is seen advancing from the
building. He takes his stand near a stump in the center of the field and
waits there, dark, silent, motionless, till he seems a stump himself in the
dusky shadows.
As we draw near the house, we note its structure better. It is
made of heavy logs with three small square windows. A garden plot is
to one side. Let us enter unseen. We are in a long dimly lighted
room, lined on either side with heavy wooden bunks. In the further
corner around the table are gathered a number of men eating supper.
Bob Jeffries, a big burly fellow sitting at one end of the table,
speaks first, "Andy, fetch up some of that licker." Andy, grumbling
about somebody's turn, stalks to the door and signals to the sentinel in
the field, then returning near the center of the room, he opens a trap
door in the floor, and disappears.
His heavy footsteps going down staircase after staircase can be
heard till the sound dies away from sheer distance. Then from the
silence a blood-curdling yell arises faintly, as if from the bowels of the
earth. Then another and still another follows, and Andy's heavy foot-
steps can be heard, as he comes furiously up the staircase.
In a moment he emerges from the open trap as from a catapult,
his big eyes shining, his hair standing on end, and his long lank frame
all in a tremble. He would have made out for the open, yelling like a
m.ad man, had not Zeke, a big heavily-bearded fellow, caught him by
the collar and kicked him down in a corner. The rest gathered around
and asked him what the rumpus was about. When Andy, gulping
hard, found voice enough to speak, he said that in one corner of the
storehouse far below he had seen a live skeleton sitting on a keg. Bob
Jeffries swore voluminously and called him a liar, nevertheless they all
agreed m spite of dry throats and their love of "mountain dew" to
wait till daylight before investigating the matter further.
Next day as the sun was tinting the east that house became the
scene of much argument and debate. The subject, of course, was
134
Andy's ghost and who should go down lo the storeroom to bring up the
morning dram. At ler.glh, it was settled that the whole gang should go
down, and as we enter we see all of them except Andy, one after the
other, descend through the trap door. Out of curiosity, we, unseen,
follow the others down the stairs. At the foot of the stairs they are
standing m front of a door, none dating to open it. Surely none would
have ventured down had not dry throats impelled them!
At last after consultation. Bob nervously grasps the latch and
gathering all his courage together opens the door slightly. All peer
through into a large cave-like room, which is dimly lighted by the torch
Zeke carries. At one side where a spring flows down are two large
stills, and in the corner a supply of unused corn; at the other side are
piled kegs of different sizes and shapes; while directly in front is a large
pool of water e,Ktending to the further wall. Above the crack through
which we entered, the smoke from the stills, which usually is dissipated
before it reaches the surface, goes up — an ideal place for moonshine.
With a jest about Andy's ghost, Zeke kicks the door open wide,
and there, in the gloom of the cave, the white frame of a skeleton can
be seen sittmg on a barrel. A gasp comes from the crowd, and they
stand wit+i widening eyes and rising hair, as if spellbound, for slowly,
as if from the ground, a dim red thing rises and remains flickering
where the heart ought to be. For a time the loud breathing of the men
is all that breaks the stillness, and then with a groan the flaming heart
vanishes. In another instant the skeleton rises and is advancing!
Human endurance can stand no more! The men rush past us up the
stairs uttering shriek after shriek.
We, nothing loath, leave the cave and its inmates and when we
reach the top, all the men are out in the open, talking and gesticulating
wildly. Soon, as if driven by some unseen force they hurry back into
the house, where they spend a troubled day quarreling and gambling,
wishing for something besides water to quell their thirst.
That night Andy restlessly tossing on his bed feels a growing
dread coming upon him, and, in the darkness and stillness, it grows into
awful suspense. Suddenly a groan is heard as if it were from the ground.
He starts up with his eyes fixed on the trap door, knowing though he
didn't look around that the rest of the men were likewise watching.
Again a groan is heard, this time just below the door. From the
farthest corner some one empties his revolver at the trap. Then dread-
ful silence follows, and they are about to lie down again, when to their
horror the door begins to open and a bony hand protrudes, and then
another, and then as the crack widens a skull appears, its eyes gleaming
red. They can endure it no longer, and in spite of the fear that drove
them back into the house that morning they rush out through the door
and across the clearing.
The rising sun next morning peering through the pines looked
down upon a vastly different hilltop than he had seen before. Four
large United States army tents weie standing in the clearing, while
smoke rising lazily from charred embers marked the place where the
long low house used to be. In the front of the largest tent are a group
of men who look like prisoners. They are sitting around in handcuffs
and irons, while soldiers, pacing back and forth, watch them carefully.
135
As we approach we discover that those men whom we took for
soldiers wear the badge of revenue officers. They are joking with
the men in chains about their misfortune.
"Well," said a fellow we at once recognized as Zeke, "You'd
never hev got in Jeffries' storehouse if it warn't for ghostes.
"Oh, we are on to our job," said one of the officers. "This isn't
the first moonshine storehouse we have discovered and, of course, you
fellows don't believe in anything like ghosts."
"What did you see — a skeleton?" asked another officer, laughing.
"Yes, and it had lights in its eyes," said Andy with an oath.
"Oh, well," said the first officer, "I can explain that. I did it
myself. I got a skeleton over here in the woods and set it up down in
the storeroom. Those lights you saw were just bits of candle with
tissue paper in front of them. I just took the skull and hands off and
showed them at the trap door when you fellows got so scared last
night."
For several minutes there was silence which was at last broken
by Bob Jeffries, owner of the still. "That's a'right, but how'd you get
down thar?"
"That's easy enough," said the officer, "but to understand it I
shall have to explain how the storehouse was first made. A long time
ago a fault ran lengthwise of this hill. A fault is where one part of
the ground sinks down and the rest stays still. Well, that's what hap-
pened. A.nd you fellows just found an opening where the crack had
been, and by blasting out a boulder here and there and putting in a
staircase, you made a passage way down to the big ledge of granite
which formed the floor of the storehouse. Well, I saw where the fault
had been, and when I could catch you fellows I surmised just what you
had done. So following the fault along for about a mile I came to a
place where the granite ledge came to the surface out on Big Bend
Mountain, and seeing a cave along on the top of this, I followed and
came to your cellar."
"Hump," grunted Dan Sexton, "the walls of the cave were solid
rock all around, do you spose we'd a-stored our licker thar if it
warn't?"
The officer smiled and said, "Did you ever feel of the wall under
that pool in the corner?"
"No," said Dan.
"Well, if you had," said the officer, "you would have found a
passage way, two feet deep, underneath the water. I dived through it. '
Then turning, he called to the other officers, "All right there, men,
strike camp. Let's get to town tonight."

"My friends, when I think of this great man who in a dark age,
preached Toleration, or in other words the Love of Jesus, a dream
rushes upon my soul. One night in a dream I beheld a colossal rock,
a mountain of granite, rising from illimitable darkness into bright sun-
shine. Around its base was midnight: half way up was twilight; on
the very summit shone the light of God's countenance.
"A voice whispered — 'This awful rock, built upon midnight,
girdled by twilight, with the light of God's face shining upon its brow,'
this awful rock is the History of the World.'
"Far down in blackest midnight, I beheld certain lurid, horrible
shapes, going wildly to and fro. 'These,' said the voice, 'these are the
butchers of the human race, called Conquerors.'
"Half way up in the dim (mlight, a multitude of Popes, Reform-
ers, Pretended Prophets and Fanatics, were groping their way with
stumbling footsteps, darkness below and twilight around them. 'These.'
said the voice, 'are the numerous race of creed makers, who murder
millions in the name of God.'
"But far up this terrible rock, — yes, yonder in the eternal sun-
shine which broke upon the highest point of its summit, side by side
with St. Paul, and the Apostles, stood a commanding form, clad in an
rnpretending garb, with a wild glory playing over his brow; that form,
the Apostle of God to the New World, William Penn."

h has been some time since Maryville has
had a Law Club, but this year realizing ihal
there were so many students who intend to study
Law, we decided that we could best prepare
ourselves for our chosen piofession by more
organized association with each olher. There-
fore, we organized. We hold regular bi-weekly
meetings and discuss problems fhat have arisen
or will arise in the near future. We never fail
to make ourselves understood and always "stand
pat" on our views. We stand for a thorough
reformation of ihe bar and unequivocal en-
forcement of law. Those who apply for admis-
sion lo our Club, must stand rigid examinations
and present high marks of attainment.

Although we are here represented as few in number, we can
boast of many more, who busy here and there were unable to join
with us in this representation. We have organized a club with the
view that we may better uphold the traditions of our fathers, and to
make knowTi our noble lineage. Some of us will continue in a more
direct way to emulate these traditions, by spreading the Gospel which
our fathers proclaim. Others of us, wherever called, will make it our
high purpose to live up to our ancestral trainmg and guidance.

The Maryville College Chess Club
New things are all that make life interesting. Last (all a
brand new club beat its way into Society. Its official name is "The
Maryville College Brotherhood of Chess Boosters." At a recent meet-
ing of the stockholders, Tom Mitchell was elected President, and Oscar
Robinson Secretary. The privilege conferred by the Club on its mem-
bers is the right to play each other member a series of Chess Games.
According to the .New York Times Mr. Liddell is leading with a
batting average of 800 and will probably win out in the World's
Championship Series. Speaking of the Club the Literary Digest says,
"No other institution is attracting so much attention today as the M. C.
Chess Club. The failure of Uncle Sam to dissolve this combmation
is an item of international interest."

A STUDENT CATASTROPHE
Once upon a time Mary Heard that Lizzie Lent a lamp to a
friend, so she went mto the next room, and there saw Anne Crane to
see as the lamp turns over and Cora Burns. She rushed out, but
couldn't find the matron so she had Minnie Hunter.
"More water," some one calls, so they Add Moore.
Then they had Jim Gamble around the room, and Lawrence
Cross the hall to get some wool, which they had seen Oliver Shearer
from a pet sheep the day before. Not finding it, some one asked,
"Doesn't Mary Camp near here?"
At this suggestion they go there, and on the way Mary Boggs up.
Everyone stopped and laughed as they saw Owen Pile rocks for her
to step on. He got mad and asked, "Why in the world doesn't Ruth
Work and who said that Aletha May fool around in this mud?"
Before they reached the camp they discovered that it was useless
to go further, as the fire had been put out.
Moral — Always obey the rules. This whole catastrophe hap-
pened because Lizzie Lent and its against the rules to borrow and lend
in Pearsons.

A Lament
Of One on Being Deprived of Social Privileges
(With Acknowledgments to Mr. Shakespeare)
When in disgrace with stern Miss Mollie's eyes,
I all alone, in stately Pearsons sate;
And troubled deaf walls with futile, bootless cries.
And wiped my weepmg eyes, and cursed my fate;
Wishing again to share the gladdening hope.
When all the gallant lads to Pearson's come, -
That one might call tor me, but, oh, the scope
Of my stern, bitter, unrelenting doom.
When ill such hours as these, all law despising,
I count the days till June, 'tis then my state
Is like domestic science biscuits, never rising ;
My rieart lies broken like a schoolboy's slate.
For June alone, my fate's undoing brings,
And June alone can heal dishonor's stings.
At Staff Meeting
Miller (reading from an old Annual) : "Listen to this Freshman
definition of a kiss, 'A kiss is nothing divided by two.' "
Hunter: "That's alright, but I thot a kiss was two divided by
nothing."
Burian (after a pause beginning to laugh) : "Well, I got it
at last."
Alma: "It's pretty hard to get, but it's sure good when you
get it."

Afterword
The goal we strove for, it has taken wings;
And now upon the hill across the vale
Of life's plain duties, calls us still to come.
No need to linger here, no thot of pause;
We've only gathered strength these early years.
That we may follow still our flying goal.
No thot of vain despair, that it has flown;
But rather joy, that it has called us on.
And rather joy that we are fit to go.
And so, no sadness as we say farewell.
As earlier paths we leave for sterner ways;
But only glory in our flying goal.
